The Department of Defense announced a new $400 million military aid package designated to Ukraine through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
Deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters about the new set of aid on Friday, saying it “represents the beginning of a contracting process to provide additional priority capabilities to Ukraine.”The United States is joined by the Netherlands in paying for 45 Czech T-72B tanks to be refurbished, which will be delivered to the Ukrainians.
The latest assistance came a week after its last one, which was valued at roughly $275 million. This aid did not include any significant new weapons, but it does include additional ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, 500 precision guided 155 mm artillery rounds, 2,000 155 mm rounds of remote anti-armor mine systems, more than 1,300 anti-armor systems, 2.75 million rounds of small arms ammunition, four satellite communications antennas, and 125 Humvees.
